Informal poll time, thought it might be interesting to see what some of the top people in the sport have theirs set at. No name is too big or small, but include what binding you use!

Standing at a colossal 5'11 and weighing in at a grand 145 lbs, my DINs are set at the following:

Armada JJ's - Jesters - toe DIN 11, heel DIN 10
Armada Alpha 2 - Jesters - toe DIN 11, heel DIN 10 (I should probably turn these down a bit)

The reasoning for the heel being one less is to reduce the chance of a knee injuries during an awkward fall, but i never come out unless I am charging anyways.

Some of you guys ride pretty tight. Too scary for me. You guys probably haven't had a knee injury. I hit cliffs and big jumps and never ever prerelease.

Question to those with 18s

why would you get such a high binding if you only set it to like 11?

as far as FKS are concerned its a more durable binding, still functions fine and when you are are the lower part of the DIN range it puts less stress on the spring meaning it wears out slower. as for 18s vs 15s, i think 18s are just easier to find.
